Can't we all just get along? [Zetas and New Generation need not respond]

La Tuta co-founder of Knights
Templar (Caballeros Templarios) released yet another of his video messages.His theme in this video is; acknowledgement
that he is a criminal and yes his organization is a criminal organization, but
when it is necessary to arrest Knights Templar, the military should conduct themselves
with honor and not become police, judge and jury.

He speaks of community police, stressing that
those guards are not of the region and brought in while posing as locals
attempting to secure municipalities.He
also speaks of his enemies Mencho and Zetas.

El Chayo- Nazario Moreno González

Tuta, whose name is Servando Gómez Martínez is
known by both La Tuta and El Profe.His monikers translate to teacher or professor, a tribute to his profession
prior to his drug trafficking career.

His criminal career has netted him a United
States indictment, derived from his stint as a leader for La Familia Michoacán
cartel (LFM).LFM leader Nazario Moreno
González, was killed in December 2010, in a violent two day clash in the
Michoacán mountains, which caused a division within the group leading to a
split and the formation of a new cartel, The Knights Templar.

La Tuta and Dionicio Loya Plancarte, aka “el Tio”
co-founded the Knights Templar.Tío was
reported killed in March of this year in Michoacán.Dionicio is the uncle of Enrique Plancarte,
aka La Chiva, another high level leader of Knights Templar.

On Friday of this week a video appeared featuring an elderly man presenting himself as “El Tío” .

Chiva

In the video the man challenges Hipolito Mora to meetfor a dialogue, “face to face”, to resolve the problems they have over La
Ruana, Buena Vista and Tepalcatepec, he also said if nothing is resolved, then they
should fight to the death. Although the man has facial similarities to El Tío, there is enough difference to call the claim into question, perhaps the man is in reality
a relative of Tío and not the man himself. For that determination, you be the judge.

La Tuta is also wanted in México with a 2.5 million USD bounty on his
head, Which is ironic because the government was sending him teacher recompense
until 2 years ago, although he had not been in a classroom for a decade.

The following is the translated contents of the La Tuta video:

Good evening to the general
public, our state, our lovely Michoacán, our municipalities, cities and all
those who receive this message that we are putting on air with the best
intention of being able to help and contribute to the solution of many
problems.

We want to emphasize to the media
and all the people that are listening to us and watching this video that we are
not responsible of the marches that have occurred on Friday 19th of the present
year in all state of Michoacán, in Apatzingán, Morelia, Pátzcuaro, Uruapan,
Cuatro Caminos; wherever the marches occurred. We are not responsible in any
way for that situation.

If the town is protesting is
because they are tired of corruption and I don’t think it is against us because
the little that I know and we have seen is against the state government and
federal government.

Maybe the federal government has not fulfilled
its obligations, we have said it and we have express it on banners, on videos,
where we have said that if the federal government and the state government
accept their responsibilities of good guardians to put public order on the
entities, we put our weapons aside, we will not turned them in but we will put
them aside because we don’t want that because of what is happening in Buenavista,
Tomatlán,La Ruana, in Tepeque
where community guardians are forming, which behind them are the Cartel Jalisco
Nueva Generación.

That guy, Mr. Mencho, my enemy,
so to speak, because we are of different organizations, he has his organization
and I respectfully represent the organization of the Knight Templar. Our
intention is to make this work. We want our town to be ok and our people would
be able to hang out and walk freely in Michoacán.

We know that we affect third
parties interest, of course we do, all those that are with the Jalisco Cartel
and with the Zetas. All the people form Michoacán are welcome and I give my
word of Knight Templar that there is nothing against any person unless it is
proven that they have relationship with those groups.

Returning to the topic of the
community guardians, these people that are in Tepeque and La Ruana, you can see
on the videos when a woman says: First, we are being trained, we are given
weapons and now we are being arrested; referring to the Mexican Army elements.
Which ones? We don’t know.

Something is going on there. The
government is confronting town versus town. Please gentlemen of the federal
government, resume things, that is not the way to conduct ourselves, we are
willing to dialogue and see what we should do to make this work.

There was another case in La
Ruana where a hooded person stops a taxi cab and asks the driver: Who are you,
where are you from? And the driver shows him an identification and tells him I
am from here, La Ruana of such and such colony. It is documented in Milenio. They
were showing it on Milenio network.

The
guy doing the interview (the hooded man) didn’t even know where that colony was
and takes the driver’s phone away and asks him of some character, if I recall correctly it was La
Goya and the driver tells the hooded man: “La Goya is a well-known woman from
La Ruana”. The hooded man, tall and robust, did not even know who that person
was. Most of us know who la Goya is but he didn’t know who she was, by that
time a woman from behind approaches him (the hooded man) and tells him: “Let
him go, the driver is from here, he is my nephew. What is that telling us? That
that person that is as community guardian is not from Michoacán because he
didn’t know the young men, he didn’t even know the colony that the driver was
telling him and was proving with his ID.

Gentlemen, don’t forget when the
first 27 community guardians appeared, 7 of them were from Sinaloa and
Guadalajara, Jalisco, with arrest warrants, some of them even for homicide.

Then, who is behind all this?
Please, gentlemen of the federal and state government fulfill your obligations.

The government says all the time
that they are after the Knight Templar because we are criminals and we are
armed. Now I tell the government, possibly the only person that has been seen on
media armed is me. I do it because it is my responsibility to watch over the
interests of my enterprise and of all the people that are with us in Michoacán.

You say that we are armed. You
are correct, we are armed, we do have weapons to defend our state from the
Zetas and Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion, but now I am going to tell you something,
on television appear a lot of armed people and not only armed but hooded,
working for the PFP and militaries and there is no problem.

There is where the
armed people are and there is where the people of Jalisco (cartel) come from
under the orders of Mencho Seguera. There is where the government should put
order.

People protested on April 19th
here in Michoacán against all those guardians, if not everybody would have form
guardians. We know they had the right to protest and they should have their
reason. We know that they said that they were protesting because they didn’t
want the people (guardians) of Tepeque, La Ruana and Buenavista travel through Michoacán
land because events have occurred where there are shootings and many deaths.
Probably the fear of the people that are protesting is that one day their
relatives would be passing by and a stray bullet hits them......continued on next page....

Gentlemen, we tell you if the
community guardians of Tepeque, Buenavista and La Ruana keep going forward and
maintain their purpose throughout the PFP, because this situation was
orchestrated by the government of Calderon with several generals and coronels
here in Michoacán, which it is them who are making the town against town act.
We are part of the town gentlemen and we have said it, we respect the federal
government, specially the military.

We have said the reason of why we
respect them. It is not fear gentlemen; we are men just like they are. We are
also willing to give our lives to defend our town. But it is fair and necessary
that order is establish. We know that you have to be after us.

Be after us if
we are criminals and also the people that are with us that make mistakes, the
federal government should settle accounts with them. If my enterprise notices
that some one of the organization did things that they are not supposed to,
that are against our rules, we will put order, gentlemen. We know it is your
duty, but with respect gentlemen, do your duty with respect.

We have expressed; we have many
friends here in Michoacán. We have entrepreneurs, farmers, cattle breeders and
of all kinds. If we are doing something that affect directly the people, do not
hesitate to tell us and we will put a solution.

We all have seen how Genaro
Garcia Luna orchestrated his scenes to come out on television and ennoble
himself. How many innocent people are in prison? The general that just was
released from prison, I don’t remember his name but he has said it himself.

Those protected witnesses, those innocent people, it is not fair gentlemen, a
70 or 80% of the people that are in prison are innocent. Yes, there are people
that are guilty, like us, and we have said it, we are guilty, we should be prosecuted
because of what we have done.

Military, PFP and Marines are organizations
of the federal government to only apprehend criminals. Not to be a judge,
that’s why there are many problems because you try to kill us and we are going
to fight back.

Arrest us and turn us in to the corresponding authorities. Let a
judge give us a trial but how it should be. You (military) should not take
part, should not take money, nor support the actions of the CJNG nevertheless,
of Zetas because we are not going to leave the weapons and we will have to
fight back.

I repeat, it is not a threat for
you gentlemen of the federal government. Please reconsider and don’t take
anybody’s side. Let’s find a way to fix things; we are willing to dialogue with
you whatever is necessary. Please whoever was elected interim governor in Michoacán,
reconsider and be aware of all the events that have been happening.

Listen to the teachers, students,
investors, civil organizations and if it’s possible listen to us. It is not
well seen because of the difficulty that we are criminals but we are willing to
seek measures and the proper path to get to a discussion with you and to set
order not only in Michoacán but where we can contribute.

This is a message for the
government of the Mexican Republic. If we can contribute in anything and you
invite us to dialogue about what is happening in Michoacán and parts of Mexico,
we are willing to go.

We want peace gentlemen. We also
have family, we also have someone to look after and that is why we are watching
over the interests of Michoacán. Unfortunately, we sometimes have to go to
other places and attack because they are trying to enter our state. Let’s set
some order gentlemen, I don’t know how to let you know but we are willing to
dialogue.

Please all the people of PFP and
militaries that were under the service of the Calderon government resume your
situation and don’t let yourselves be bossed around… Genaro Garcia Luna is no
longer there, which was who despicably humiliated you, you all know, it came
out on all magazines how he treated you, but he is no longer in office.
Supposedly there is a new government, new system; we have to trust the new
government.

This is an invitation, especially
to all police forces of any kind to do their job; stop all these situations
with the community guardians and we repeat it once again, we are not
responsible of what is happening with the marches. If anybody says that it is
induced by the Knights Templar it is false.

A congressman of Michoacán
expressed in the media that it was induced, he didn’t say the name but he is
referring to us, the Knights Templar. Of course he doesn’t have anybody else to
blame because allegedly we are the only ones that are in Michoacán but it is
not true.

Gentlemen, assume your role,
leave out the radical postures and do it for the good of our town and our
state.

It is an invitation to all, we
say it again, investigate who Hipolito Mora is, 3 arrest warrants in the U.S.
wanted by DEA and he appears beside the commanders of the PFP and military
commanders.

So that means that someday, I
will be beside a military or PFP commander and come out on television. I know
it is not correct because I know what I am and what I represent, however it is
not our intention at all to affect regular people, just to watch over the interests
of our town and our state of Michoacán.

Gentlemen, you say that we are
criminals because we, the Knights Templar, are asking for fees and doing this
and that, but what are Hipolito and El Abuelo doing? El Abuelo is a processed
criminal, he was released, investigate him.

Who is El Abuelo Farias, the man
that is in Tepeque? Investigate him and you will realize many situations. It is
not well seen that I talk bad about them but you people, all those that are
listening: reporters, journalists, PFP, marines, civil society, go in the
internet and see who they are, however they are the leaders of many hooded
people.

The federal government that Felipe Calderon Hinojosa lead, shook, batted
and grind off, as if in a mortar, the state of Michoacán to remove weapons, We,
the Knights Templar, were left with many weapons because we withstand 6 years
escaping in the mountains with them (weapons).

However, now between Buenavista,
Tepeque and La Ruana thousands of people are armed. Where did all the weapons
come from? Reconsider, federal government, there are several coronels. 1
coronel in Tacambaro, 1 in Pátzcuaro, 1 in Uruapan and 2 in Apatzingánthat were under the orders of one general.

You know who it was and they were
the ones making it a war town, If it continues this way we are not going to leave
the weapons aside, we are going to confront the aggressions. It is not only me
that is a criminal, there are other criminals. Not only my organization is
criminal, there is Hipolito Mora and El Abuelo Farias, they are big criminals.

Probably not of my level, at
least not Hipolito, because I always had the bad habit of paying for everything
I did and Hipolito never paid. El Abuelo did pay and there are his criminal
records because he had been judged.

This is a call for all the
corporations, government, and president of the republic, assume your
responsibility and also for the government of the state, assume your
responsibility

Thank you

Another foto purportedly of El Chayo in death-take your pick

The video below is footage of the clash in which El Chayo (Nazario) was killed along with 40 others:

this challenge he's talking about , is it one on one or are they gonna pick him up tortured him , then kill him.. cause like we all know the knights Templars a piece of shit ,innocent people killing cartel..

4:20you sure are an asshole. prove the narritve is translated ANYWHERE in English. Or shut the fuck up. I am bilingual and I can tell you this translation took many hours. First off the man speed of speech is difficult to understand, and he does not stop.

Chivis, fuck this lowlife and don't post these type of comments. Trolls cruise looking for a place to kick up shit.

Thank you! Yep, this was horrible to translate. I worked on it when I could, figuring after the trial I could finish, anyway like you said this is the only English version so readers can be in on his rambling confusing rant. there are moments of clarity and points well taken, but mostly a mess.

Bravo Chavis. Outstanding article! I can't fathom how long it took tp translate it. Especially with his continuing rambling. You'd think he's from Mars. As for all the bastard critics,you know what I think about them. " Go find another site and keep your f***ing thoughts to yourself. Try to do in one day what Chibas and the other Bb staff do for one day. Oh, you are just another idiot you couldn't do it. Il LOL at your stupid comments. And, for the cartel lovers, find another site and grow up! Thanks as always,Texas Grandma. And, Happy Mothrer's day Chivis!!!

Knights Templar were originally La Familia Michioacana which in turn was originally Zetas which was originally Gulf Cartel in other words las misma caca .El Chapo needs to take over all these territory and show these fools how to run this business like a true C.E.O arriba CDS .

Yeah we get the picture,all the trolls are getting hysterical again,defending poor old chivis?Appreciate the work and translations immensely,but,why exactly do those comments about translation make it in here ? What sincere nice people you are ?

"Poor, old"? Are you sure? I allow people to make statements against me, as long as it is not vile I allow it in, some people love to hate. Such as your comment sound like you are very conflicted. I appreciate the kind words of readers, nasty comments have chased many excellent reporters away.

Havana, it was horrible. It did take me 2 weeks, and was the most difficult video I have transcribed. Tuta is so "off", if you go on youtube you will hear many of the same videos sound as though playing on fast speed, because Tuta was tootin speed. Even this video was done twice the second time to slow it down..

Your appreciated Chivas and if you read, or try to read some of the irrational postings, they sound as delusional as el Prof y no intiendo nada que dijeron. Those crystal smokers are scratching at their arms just like Tuta; as he talks about honor.

May 12 @ 9:26: "When cartels start thinking like that. They think they are part of everyday life in Mexico. A "new normal". Folks, Cartels are going to be around for a long time..."

Agree, but history repeats itself. You only have to look back to the history of modern China, from about 1850 to 1950. The "war lords", the Nationalist, the communist and finally, the Maoist - from Sun Yatsen to Chiang Kaishek to the Chairman himself, all funded their efforts with opium and via the opium trade. After the Japanese, and then the Nationalist, were deafeated, Mao consolidated power by defunding his enemies: he outlawed opium production, its trade and consumption. Trafficking and production was a bullet to the head offense and users were given one chance to clean up or face the same fate. It took about two years, but the world's largest opium supply vanished along with the world's largest drug addicted society and remains that way today. Only two ways out: dropping the the prohibition of drugs in user societies and countries or implementing a true zero tolerance.

Hello, first time on this site. My mom is from Coalcoman, Mich. and showed me the video of Tuta. I didn't understand the video because he talked too damn fast. Thanks for translating his rant. I now fully understand what he is trying to say (which is nuts). I'm sad that I can't take my family to their home town to visit. Hopefully this mess will calm down and will be a peaceful town that is know for its "mujeres bellas y hombres ilustres".
